outside the headquarters of Chess.com…
...we are now joined
by our correspondent…
Vinnie Valentine.
Live at the scene.
Vinnie?
Are you there?
The entire Blog section of Chess.com is gone! Is this due to V3??
Sort:
Yes…I’m here, Candy.
LIVE at the cemetery…
for the closing ceremony
of our beloved V2.
where we now join the service…
in progress…
Ashes to ashes…
...and dust to dust.
And now…
Let us linger
for one last time…
as We say
Rest in peace my friend
and
Goodbye
V2.
Oh how we loved you…
And we will NEVER forget you!!!
This is Vinnie Valentine.
Back to you Candy.
Well…there you have it.
This concludes our coverage of
The Funeral of V2.
I know it’s a scary thought…
But the future of chess
now lies in the hands of V3.
So…for all of us here
at Elenin Studios…
I’m Candy Kane.

With Your Host
Vinnie Valentine
Good Evening.
I’m your host…Vinnie Valentine.
And thanks
for
joining us tonight.
Let’s play…
Russian
Roulette!
But first…
let’s meet our contestants
for tonight’s game.
In the RED corner...
proudly representing
the country of Russia…
Mr. Vladimir Putin…
is here with us tonight!!
And in the Blue Corner...
representing the United States…
we have Erik…
of Chess.com!!!
The Rules of the game
are quite simple.
Both our contestants
will be asked ONE question…
and ONE question ONLY.
And the contestant with the correct answer
WINS EVERYTHING…
while the other contestant will
LOSE EVERYTHING.
Pretty easy...right?
Ok…Let’s get started
and play…
Russian Roulette!
Tonight’s QUESTION has been chosen
by our random studio audience.
And the WINNING ANSWER will be chosen
by our panel of distinguished judges.
AND NOW…
TONIGHT’S QUESTION IS…….
What do you
REALLY think
about V3?
Erik…you won the toss backstage...
so we’ll start with you.
Wait!
We’ve just been informed
that Erik will use the
following
pre-recorded video for his answer.
I’m afraid that I’ll have to ask our judges
if that is acceptable.
Judges: That’s fine.
Ok…Let’s roll the video.
Wow…That was a long answer.
Remember…
it’s only a half an hour show!!
ok Mr. Putin…same question.
And please try to keep
your answer brief.
Are you kidding me?!!
V3??!!
In Russia…we are using V9.
V3 is for babies.
Is that your final answer?
That’s such a stupid question.
But Yes…final answer.
Ok…judges…please decide
which answer is the winner.
Is it Erik…????
Or...
is it Vladimir Putin??????
Judges?
Have you made
your FINAL decision??
We have.
And the WINNING
ANSWER
is….
from
Vladimir Putin!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!
That was soooo easy.
And such a stupid game.
Sorry Erik…but you lose.
And by the rules of the game...
V3 will have to be destroyed.
